Hey Rick. Do you have any further specs on the avenger. I have some rather large bids coming up after tax day. Do you have a ball park on what the machine can do?? I already own a cimex and a pad machine, but since I am a owner-operator, I need the ability to bang out INSANE amounts of carpet as fast as possible. Also one of these buildings is an out-patient medical facility. Is it safe to use propane in that kind enviroment?

You said a few things that fit with the Avenger...

You want to go for "large bids".
Absolutely!!!

You want to bang out "INSANE amounts of carpet as fast as possible"
That's EXACTLY what this machine accomplishes!!!

How can I say this politely? You all know I LOVE the Cimex. It's a wonderful machine. A perfect machine for all commercial work. It's in a class by itself for doing the lion's share of commercial carpet work, capable of taking care of everything from small to large. But it ain't an Avenger. The Avenger will easily double your production over the Cimex, or even greater.

They're essentially different machines for different niches. There will be buildings where you wouldn't run an Avenger. It's loud and you need to be able to provide some ventilation. Your medical building might very well not be the right place for the Avenger.

Here's how we can put this into perspective. The Avenger is built on the principle of a propane buffer. The deck of the machine has been elongated about 6 inches to accommodate the reduction gearing and the pump. So let's compare applications to a propane buffer. Propane buffers are used in supermarkets, office buildings, retail stores, just about everywhere there's VCT tile. They are major contenders for floor burnishing throughout the floor care industry. Why are they preferred over any electric high speed buffers on the market? It's because no electric buffer can achieve anywhere near the level of performance that a propane buffer can. There's just no comparison.

And that is why the Carpet Avenger is so unique. It opens up a completely different realm of carpet scrubbing. It's a little hard to comprehend how much stronger it actually is compared to anything else on the market. You'd expect that a scrubber is a scrubber is a scrubber. But the Carpet Avenger has something that might be overlooked. TORQUE! Plenty of it. Consider this; the 11 hp Honda engine is seven times more powerful than the 1.5 hp electric motor on the Cimex. So while the Cimex spins at 400 rpm with a planetary design to produce its results, the combustion engine on the Avenger can produce more productivity at 200 rpm because of its hoggish power!!! It's a monster.

The bottom line is this. If you are out there cleaning lots commercial accounts day in day out, the Cimex is perfect. If you've got larger accounts or if you have lower priced accounts that you need to get aggressive on - pick up an Avenger (I guarantee it will completely blow you away).



Picture it this way...
Cimex versus Avenger

Rick, that was a well written response. I may be heading that way this spring. Do you have any models there to demo?? If so,, I will give you a ring soon.. THX

Yes I do have one that we can demo for you. And we'll have it at the Connections trade-show and the Connections EncapFest in March in Clearwater Beach Florida. If you'd like to give 'er a spin it's ready to test drive.

Rick, what comprises the starting of the Avenger??

Is it key start with a battery, or coil spring start??

If battery, is it hooked up to a 110 volt power source to keep the battery charged, or does it come with it's own alternator??

Curious down under.

Cheers,

It has an electric starter. You plug it into the wall and then you press the starter button. Once the engine starts, you wind up the short power cord and take off. Or you can also start it with a pull cord like a lawnmower engine.
